A5 – Slip Casting Finishing + Material Exploration

Concept Statement: I discovered how adaptable the designs that are created through this process could be through my explorations; once I find a specific form I will be able to differentiate sets through color schemes. I’m going to explore the idea of highlighting faults in the cast as the main design feature of an item. Currently, I am contemplating the idea of creating a collection of items that are tied together through their color scheme and form; the exact nature of the collection is yet to be decided, but I will most likely venture into making a set of vases.

 Failed attempts in scaling up objects; it does not seem likely that I will be able to make objects over 8 inches.

I am a Bahraini product designer based in New York City. I am currently pursuing a degree in product design at Parsons the New School of Design. With a focus on furniture and housewares, I am very hands on in my design process; often designing through the manufacturing process. I continue to challenge myself by taking on projects as an opportunity to explore materiality and processes. Rather than hiding imperfections in a piece, I bring them to the forefront of the concept to highlight the manufacturing process.
